Chapter 343: Demotion!
Wen Chengfang turned his head to look at Meng Guangren, with a puzzled look on his face, and then looked at Yue Shao'an again. Yue Shao'an didn't speak, but Meng Guangren was happy, and said with a humble expression: "Master Wen, you don't remember me, have you forgotten?" Last time I was in Lord Hu's house......"
Wen Chengfang was still puzzled: "Master Hu? ”
"Damn, I forgot, how can I say it's Master Hu in front of you......" Meng Guangren slapped himself with a pretentious face, and then said: "It's that cousin of yours, when his son married last time, you went there once, but you were too busy, and you only stayed for a while, and I didn't have time to talk to you more......"
"Oh!" Wen Chengfang seemed to remember something, nodded and said, "Meng Yuanwai, right?" ”
"Yes, yes......" Meng Guangren hurriedly nodded and said, "You remembered?" ”
Wen Chengfang frowned slightly, he didn't have a good impression of Meng Guangren, although he had a relationship with his cousin last time, but Meng Guangren, who was full of copper smell, didn't give him too deep a memory, so that he didn't think about it for a while just now.
The conversation between Wen Chengfang and Meng Guangren here, Yue Shao'an took it all in his ears, watching the looks of the two people, he was a little relieved, it seems that Meng Guangren is indeed doing things in the name of Wen Chengfang, if he doesn't do it, a new question has arisen, what kind of character is his cousin, who is called Master Hu?
"It's good that Lord Wen is here, you see that these people are making trouble in public, and my family and son have been beaten by them." Meng Guangren's face gradually showed a sad color, and he almost became a cry: "Master Wen, everyone knows that you are a good official, you have to be the master for me......"
"Meng Yuanwai, who injured your people?" Wen Chengfang asked.
"It's him-" Meng Guangren pointed with one hand, his eyes were aggrieved, and the color of resentment was extremely heavy, he was used to running rampant in Song Shicheng, when had he suffered such a wretched anger today, he was so surprised and happy now, he had already forgotten about the previous incident that Yue Shao'an sent someone to call Wen Chengfang.
However, Wen Chengfang was taken aback by his finger, and said in shock: "Are you sure?" ”
"Of course it's sure!" Meng Guangren saw that Wen Chengfang seemed to want to help him, and said more affirmatively: "Yes, it's him, he connived at his subordinates to bully the people, Lord Wen, you have to be the master for me......"
Wen Chengfang opened his mouth wide, looking at Yue Shao'an's unkind face, he understood a rough idea, the emperor would have nothing to do to bully a rich man? Isn't that a joke? I didn't believe it when he was killed, it must have been that this person reported his name after being stopped by the emperor, so why the emperor was in a hurry to call him over, there is a reasonable explanation.
Wen Chengfang complained bitterly in his heart, isn't this looking for trouble for himself? He turned his head angrily and scolded at Meng Guangren: "The master of the fart, the emperor will be as knowledgeable as a grass man like you?" The devil believes it. ”
After that, Wen Chengfang said, "Poof! He knelt down: "Dashuai, Cheng Fang is incompetent......"
Wen Chengfang knew that now was not the time to explain himself, but, don't say that he hadn't done this kind of thing, he did it like this, and now this situation can't even be admitted to death, so he only said that he was incompetent, which means that he is not strict in governance, and if something like this happens, Yue Shaoan can punish him for dereliction of duty, but he definitely has nothing to do with this matter.
Wen Chengfang's performance made Meng Guangren dumbfounded, he looked at Yue Shao'an blankly, a little unable to believe his ears, and said inarticulately: "Wen, Wen...... My lord...... You, you're not open...... Just kidding, right? He is the emperor and the emperor's teacher...... Division? ”
As soon as the words fell, he knew how stupid he was to react like this, who else could make Wen Chengfang so afraid of kneeling in Song Shicheng? It was only at this time that Meng Guangren didn't know what he had done, didn't he think he had a long life?
actually offended the master of Song Shicheng, my God, why did this master come to the restaurant? Now Meng Guangren is already stupid there, his mind is very chaotic, he can't speak, and his body can't move......
He understood that he had offended someone who should not be offended, and he was afraid that the lives of the family would not be saved, and after he reacted a little, he also knelt down, knocked his head on the ground, and kept making a "bang-bang......" sound, and he didn't dare to say a word, let alone raise his head.
Yue Shao'an didn't have much interest in Meng Guangren, but said to the captain of the guard behind him: "This person is not suitable to stay in Xuancheng, his family property will be confiscated, he will be punished with twenty rods, and they will be driven out of the city, and they will not be allowed to enter the city again......"
"Yes!" The captain of the guard nodded in agreement, strode over, and carried Meng Guangren downstairs with his belt like an eagle catching a chicken, and the other guards behind him also followed the captain's example and carried those Meng Hanzhi away.
Yue Shaoan ignored Wen Chengfang, who was kneeling, but pointed to the thugs who fell to the ground, and said to Niu Ren: "Old Niu, these people are handed over to you to deal with......
Niu Ren smiled: "Brother Yue, there is a shortage of labor to build the city defense now, why don't you let them help?" ”
"You look at ......"
Niu Ren waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him quickly cleared the place.
At this time, Yue Shaoan let everyone retreat, leaving only Niu Ren and Wen Chengfang, looking at Wen Chengfang, who was still kneeling, and did not let him get up, he sighed slightly: "Chengfang, you can explain now." ”
Wen Chengfang said: "Dashuai, I have nothing to explain, Chengfang has never pretended to be public and private, Chengfang really doesn't know about this matter, Chengfang knows that he is derelict in his duties, please punish Dashuai......"
"Dereliction of duty?" Yue Shaoan sneered: "Cheng Fang, although you haven't been with me for a long time, you should understand my character, if you are just derelict in your duties, it's nothing, you are in charge of the overall situation, and you have been busy with the city defense recently, you can go back and hold the people below you accountable for these things......"
After that, Yue Shao settled down for a while, and said slowly: "What I'm afraid of is that you let me down......"
When Wen Chengfang heard this, his body tightened, lowered his head, gritted his teeth and said: "Dashuai, Chengfang has to be responsible, in this city defense construction, because there is no suitable candidate for an ordinary errand to transport materials, I can't grind my mother's will, so I let my cousin take it, I really didn't expect it to be like this......"
"Your cousin is that Master Hu?"
"Yes!"
"A person who transports materials is called an adult?" Yue Shaoan's face turned pale, and he slapped the table and said, "Is it that the rights I gave you are too great?" ”
Wen Chengfang didn't dare to say more, knelt down and kowtowed a few times and said: "This matter is Cheng Fang's fault, Cheng Fang doesn't dare to ask for forgiveness from the marshal, once there is a punishment, Cheng Fang Gu willingly accepts it-"
"Brother Yue, you can't blame Brother Wen for this matter...... Are you ......"
Niu Ren wanted to intercede for Wen Chengfang, but was stopped by Yue Shaoan raising his hand. Actually, this matter is nothing, if it is placed in other cities, such a high-ranking official as Wen Chengfang, and arranging a delivery business for his relatives, this is not even care, but this is Xuancheng, Yue Shaoan takes this place too seriously, in his eyes, it is absolutely not allowed to rub a grain of sand, and this head cannot be opened, so although he does not plan to use Wen Chengfang because of this matter, but he wants to use him to kill chickens and monkeys, punishment is inevitable.
He sighed softly and said, "Chengfang, you get up!" ”
Wen Chengfang stood up slowly, looked at Yue Shao'an, with a look of guilt on his face, he had not been reused in the West Camp before, and finally met the emperor's appreciation, but he disappointed the emperor, and he was ashamed in his heart, although he said that this matter was not his original intention, it was just his mother's request, but he still blamed himself in his heart.
Yue Shaoan didn't scold Wen Chengfang again, but said slowly: "You don't have to deal with this matter, I will hand it over to Zhuo Yan, from now on, you will be demoted by one level and appointed as a deputy commander to serve as a warning, and the things in the city will still be handled by you, okay, I'm tired, you go and get busy!" ”
Wen Chengfang nodded: "The handsome shuai is punished, and Chengfang is convinced!" I just hope that Dashuai won't get angry because of this incident......"
Yue Shao'an raised the back of his hand and waved his hand, letting Wen Chengfang retreat, but he called Niu Ren over and said, "Old Niu, you go and send someone to call Zhuo Yan, and then, come and drink a few glasses with me......"
"Good!" After Niu Ren sent a personal soldier away, he sat opposite Yue Shao'an, and the two drank to each other......
